Wishing Muslims across the country “Eid mubarak” (happy holiday), Coker said the celebrations in Nigeria speak to “the truth that communities of faith — both Christians and Muslims enrich our national life, strengthen our democracy and uphold our freedoms, including the freedom of religion.”

“I therefore ask you to pray for the administration of President Ahmed Bola Tinubu for Allah’s continuous guidance and divine wisdom to lead this country to the promise land. I believe with your prayers, Nigeria will overcome its current challenges”
“Wherever you find yourselves, radiate the peace that Islam preaches and the love and care for the less privileged that Prophet Muhammad exemplified.” he encouraged
